Discover the story of the song > This Rotting Sphere – Heathen

The lyrics describe a state of being trapped by the truth and consumed by fear, driven by desires that lead to corruption and sin. The protagonist feels like they are dead inside and infected with a disease, being used and controlled by a parasite that feeds on their appetite and causes the world to bleed. They are destructive, devoid of life, infectious, and considered the blight. They call upon an angel of disease to either infect or protect them, to further breed the parasite and bleed the world.
